My Initial Thoughts:
When I first took a gander at this online, I was pleasantly surprised. If you're like me, and love Ring Flights, you'll know how powerful they are. I've had several Ring Flights, many using a key wallet. Because of my age, carrying around a key case is awkward. When Rinky Dinky came out, I was exuberant. It broke. I haven't done the Ring Flight since. Departure changed all that, this thing is amazing.
The Reactions:
The reactions you will get with this is very similar to most of the other Ring Flights on the market, because it has the same basic effect. The reactions are fantastic, something so valuable to them vanished, and appeared in one of the most impossible locations.
The Quality:
This is heavy-duty stuff. The r**l is made out of steel, and I don't plan on it breaking anytime soon. This will last quite a long time. The clip is also of the highest quality. I've used so many Ring Flights, I know the good and bad clips. This one is good, it's easier than any other one I've used before. It loads silently, and doesn't look like you got it from the jewelry store, which is a definite plus.
The Teaching:
Included with the gimmick, a nice CD with a 10 minute video is provided. The video will teach you the basics of the Ring Flight, but experience will teach you more. Derek is a good teacher, and explains everything good. It's fast, but to the point. If you've ever used a Ring Flight, it's pretty self-explanatory.
The Horror Stories:
With ANY Ring Flight, there will be some horror stories. I've heard about diamonds falling off, and people claiming it wasn't their ring. Obviously, it's their ring. I've never had anything bad happen, but I'm sure it will happen someday.
The Routines:
Derek teaches some very basic things here. He has a nice key/ring transpo, as well as a clever vanish of the ring. Having used variations of the Ring Flight before, I'm just going to substitute my old routine in.
What's Different?:
What's the difference between this Ring Flight and all the others? The ring appears attached to your key ring. If you are unfamiliar with the traditional Ring Flight, the borrowed ring vanished and reappears attached to your key wallet. Departure was struck with a modern twist, but will not be suitable for everyone.
Is it really SILENT?:
It's pretty darn silent. Can you hear it if you were in a room with no other sound? You sure could. Can you hear it with all the natural sound around us? Nope.
Overall:
This seems to be my favorite Ring Flight to date. I'll give this a 9.5/10. I reserve 10/10s for real magic. Also, it's not quite "whisper silent."
If you have any questions about this, please ask.
